Sorry for adding to the massive pile of backup-related question, but I could not figure out how to manage backups from existing answers…
I want to backup my VPS setup (think container-defining files, its volumes, and etc configs), but am unsure where to put it. Does keeping these in the VPS itself make sense? If so, how do I create and manage the backup?
Also, I would need a remote copy - what is the good location for this? I wish I could copy to my laptop, but obviously I cannot do that automatically. Should I pay money for a backup? I want to avoid paying lots of money just for backups. Thanks in advance!
I’d get familiar with deploying these with some infrastructure-as-code tools, and keep a git repo. Ansible is pretty easy to get started with.
Git might be over engineered for this purpose. Maybe SVN?
You joking?
No. Git is inefficient for small numbers of files. Just do a “find | wc” and/or a “du -hs” in your repository folder. SVN exists for a reason.
